Admissible heuristic:

A heuristic h(s) is admissible, if for every node n,

h(s) ≤ h*(s) is the true cost to reach the goal state from n

An admissible heuristic never over estimates the cost to reach the goal. That is optimistic.

Sensorless search problem defines by four items. That are given below,

  1. 1. Initial state
  2. 2. Description of action: successor function h(s) = set of action-state pairs
  3. 3. Goal test, can be
    • Explicit
    • Implicit
  4. 4 Path cost. It reflects the performance measure.

An admissible heuristic can be obtained by taking maximum of h*(s). Since any sequences of actions that solve all states would solve each state, this heuristic is admissible.

A* search algorithm:

  • The A* search algorithm is a search algorithm used to search a particular node of a graph.
  • A* algorithm is a variant of the best-first algorithm based on the use of heuristic methods to achieve optimality and completeness.
  • The algorithm A* is an example of a best-first search algorithm.
  • If a search algorithm has the property of optimality, it means that the best possible solution is guaranteed to be found. Here, the user wants the shortest path to the final state.

Assume that a string of name & surname is saved in S. The alphabetical characters in S can be in lowercase and/or uppercase letters. Name and surname are assumed to be separated by a space character and the string ends with a full stop "." character. Write an assembly language program that will copy the name to NAME in lowercase and the surname to SNAME in uppercase letters. Assume that name and/or surname cannot exceed 20 characters. The program should be general and work with every possible string with name & surname. However, you can consider the data segment definition given below in your program. .DATA S DB 'Mahmoud Obaid." NAME DB 20 DUP(?) SNAME DB 20 DUP(?) Hint: Uppercase characters are ordered between 'A' (41H) and 'Z' (5AH) and lowercase characters are ordered between 'a' (61H) and 'z' (7AH) in the in the ASCII Code table. For lowercase letters, bit 5 (d5) of the ASCII code is 1 where for uppercase letters it is 0. For example, Letter 'h' Binary ASCII 01101000 68H 'H'…
